Chapter 55: The Visit

"On the sixth day of the twenty-second year of the Yuan Chapter, the schoolwork is getting heavier, the time is coming, the light is still the same, Mr. once accepted in the hundreds, the heart is bright and the eyes are bright, just a few words, you can avoid my sleep.

The second child has repeatedly skipped school, and his indulgence is not a day's work, which has become a habit, and it is useless to beat the tart to death, but to increase resentment.

Moreover, the virtuous and the virtuous should be loved, and the stubborn should be merciful, and the teaching of him should be a long-lasting thing, and should not be exposed to the cold.

From tomorrow, I will study with him and return home together. ”

Early the next morning, Wu Jin, under Wu Yi's reluctance, accompanied him to Mengxue, personally handed it over to Mr. Mengxue, went to Mofu to study, studied hard during the day, and after class, went to Mengxue to pick up Wu Yi, and asked Mr. Mengxue about Wu Yi's behavior on this day.

When he returned to the cake shop, Wu Yi let his father and mother restrain him, and he couldn't go out to make trouble, so he was so miserable that he almost thought he was in prison.

And Wu Jin took him back to the cake shop, and rushed home non-stop, grinding ink and laying paper, to do the endless homework.

This one was sent one after another, Wu Jin unknowingly sent a scorching heat over, and fell asleep when he was busy, once he fell asleep, the thunder couldn't move.

In mid-July, when Cheng Ting went to Jeju to prepare for another test, Wu Jin had already shed a layer of skin, and by August, his thin face had no flesh, as if a layer of wheat-colored skin had been directly covered on his bones.

On the 7th day of August, all colleges in Kuanzhou were closed, and Mr. and the students were restless about the next day's exam.

The students and gentlemen were so unquiet in their hearts, and the entire city of Kuanzhou suddenly became nervous, the Taoist temple and the temple incense flourished together, and the incense burner smoked from morning to night.

Wenchang Pavilion even held a prayer ceremony, respectfully inviting Emperor Wenchang to pray for the candidates.

The objects sold on the street are all related to the liberation test, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, durable dry food, test baskets, and hard pieces of salt.

Wu Jin's things had already been prepared, and on the seventh day of the eighth month, Wu Jin checked the same again.

In the examination basket were the floating tickets he used to enter the venue, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, roll bags sewn from oilcloth, and a candle of common material.

The food was also placed in the baggage, which was the oil cakes, moon cakes, millet cakes, and dried meat prepared by Wu's mother, all of which were cut into one-inch sizes, and I bought a bag of candied dried fruits and a bag of rice.

In the baggage, there is also Tong Cho, and each candidate in the Gongyuan is equipped with a stove and a basket of charcoal, which can boil water, soup, and rice.

Wu Jin's clothes are also newly made jackets - although it is stuffy and hot now, but once Kuanzhou enters autumn, it may become cold at any time, and when people sit in the number house, it will be wind and rain, and the night will be even colder, and the scarves, clothes, and shoes will all have to withstand the severe cold.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Yin Shi had just arrived, the rooster did not crow and the dog did not crow, the sky was still dark and there were no five fingers, only the more people who beat the time outside beat the drum, Wu's mother never slept, but just lay on the bed with her eyes closed, Wu's father was the same, and when she heard the drum, both of them opened their eyes.

Mother Wu hurriedly got up and said in a low voice, "I'm going to cook." ”

Father Wu nodded, and also turned over and climbed out of bed: "Speak softly, let the boss sleep for a while, cook some dry rice, and stop being hungry." ”

He propped up the ground with both hands, went out with Wu's mother, and helped light the fire.

It was pitch black outside, there was not even a trace of moonlight, and a gust of wind blew suddenly, already cool, not at all like the slow transition of other seasons, gradually turning hot and cool, but suddenly changing, which made people unprepared.

Wu's mother came out to wash rice and vegetables, the wind was blowing tighter and tighter, Wu's mother held back a sneeze, and was about to bring the washed rice into the kitchen, when she suddenly heard a loud sneeze from the door.

Immediately afterwards, there were three "knock knocks", which sounded panicked in the dark night.

Mother Wu was nervous, so that the sudden sound of the door was frightened, and even Father Wu, who had just lit the firewood with the fire, was startled, and came out of the kitchen with his hands and looked at the door.

At this time, how can anyone knock on the door?

Father Wu and Mother Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes, and the door persevered, and rang three more times.

Wu Mu walked quickly to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

An extremely sweet voice came from outside the door: "I'm Mo Lingfeng, I'm looking for Wu Jin." ”

As soon as she heard that it was Mo Lingfeng, and that she was looking for Wu Jin, Wu's mother hurriedly took off the latch and opened the door, and when she looked out, there was really a little girl standing outside the door with a female guard.

Mo Lingfeng tilted his head, sneezed loudly in the cold wind, and reached out to rub his nose.

Wu Mu looked at her, standing in place, not daring to move, and even her breathing slowed down.

She has heard a lot of Mo Lingfeng's deeds from the mouth of the Yapo on Shishi Street, knows that Mo Lingfeng is as big as Wu Yi, knows that Mo Lingfeng goes in and out of Yuhua Street, and knows that Mo Lingfeng is the heart and liver of Mo Jiedu's envoy, in her mind, there is a Mo Lingfeng who is full of pearls and emeralds, arrogant and arrogant.

And now, this person suddenly appeared in front of her.

There is no pearl on the head, there is no arrogance and rudeness, the three words Mo Lingfeng are the folds pressed out by the red gold collar on the placket, the tightly raised patterns embroidered on the clothes, the streamer emitted under the lantern, and the majesty of the Danfeng eyes gently swept through.

Her gestures, every breath and breath, gave birth to an aggressive wealth and a different upbringing from ordinary ladies - ordinary girls don't go out at this time.

Mo Lingfeng stopped sneezing and looked up at Mother Wu: "Auntie, can I go in?" ”

"Yes, quick, please come in." Mother Wu hurriedly opened the door wider, and watched Mo Lingfeng cross the threshold and step into the small courtyard.

Yin Nan followed closely behind, glancing in all directions at the same time.

Mother Wu used her busyness to hide her helplessness, and seeing that Father Wu was still staying under the porch with two hands on the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "You go boil water, wait for me to make tea." ”

After that, she hurriedly moved a chair and put it next to Mo Lingfeng, and then went to move the table and put out the fried melon seeds and peanuts at home.

She said worriedly: "Miss Mo, sit down, you are here at this time, is there something wrong?" ”

Wu Jin is going to take the exam today, and she is worried that Mo Lingfeng's arrival will cause trouble.

Mo Lingfeng looked up at it, and with a blink of his long and thick eyelashes, he blinked the narrowness of this courtyard into his eyes: "I'll call him to take the exam." ”

Then she sat down in her chair, which immediately creaked, and the wood was thin and unstable, very harsh.

When Mother Wu heard this answer, she was so surprised that she didn't know how to answer, so she could only hurry into the kitchen again, only hating the slow boiling of the water, and finally waiting for the water to boil, she hurriedly made a bowl of tea with a coarse porcelain bowl and carefully put it in front of Mo Lingfeng.

Mo Lingfeng looked up at Wu's mother.

She doesn't have a mother, so she's curious about Wu's mother.

In the past, she quarreled with Cheng Ting, and Cheng Ting said that she was a puppy that no one wanted, and when she saw someone else's mother, she couldn't help but think about what her mother was like.

After seeing it, she retracted her gaze and looked down at the tea bowl: "Wu Jin should get up." ”

The broken tea leaves are up and down, and the tea foam is stained with the rough edge of the bowl, but it still exudes a curling tea fragrance.
